Uncoupling metabolism and coupling leptin to cardiovascular disease.
In the past eight years, beginning with the discovery of leptin,1 there has been an avalanche of knowledge and a conceptual revolution in understanding the regulation of body fat. Central to this revolution has been the recognition that adipose tissue is a tremendously active and important endocrine and paracrine tissue. In this regard, adipose tissue is to the last decade what the endothelium ...
متن کاملThe concept of selective leptin resistance: evidence from agouti yellow obese mice.
Leptin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, acts to inhibit appetite and promote metabolism, thereby reducing body weight. Leptin also increases sympathetic activity and arterial pressure. Several murine models of obesity, including agouti obese mice, exhibit resistance to the anorexic and weight-reducing effects of leptin. Hypertension in agouti mice has been attributed to hyperleptinemia. T...
متن کاملObesity-associated hypertension: new insights into mechanisms.
Obesity is strongly associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Several central and peripheral abnormalities that can explain the development or maintenance of high arterial pressure in obesity have been identified. These include activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Obesity is also associated with endothelial dysfunction and ren...

متن کاملLeptin potentiates thermogenic sympathetic responses to hypothermia: a receptor-mediated effect.
Leptin contributes to the regulation of thermogenesis. In rodents, sympathetic nerve activity efferent to interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT-SNA) is involved. On the basis of the hypotheses that 1) leptin acutely potentiates hypothermia-induced increases in IBAT-SNA; 2) this action of leptin is specific to IBAT-SNA, i.e., it does not occur with renal sympathetic nerve activity (R-SNA); an...
